But you aren’t willing to kill me so that you can be more successful -— that is envy.
Note in the original article: “Saul was willing to kill David.”
I think Saul was jealous, not envious.
“David has done well, I am envious but will celebrate his victory.”
“David grows in power and is praised without my approval, I am jealous and will seek ways to have him killed.”
Words and meanings do change over long periods of time. Maybe that is the problem here.
We’ll have to agree to disagree.
